Description:
------------
I've found it impossible to access the date "01-01-1968" via date/mktime.

Reproduce code:
---------------
foreach (range(-63158410,-63158390) as $s) {
echo $s.': '.date("d-m-Y H:i:s",$s)."<br>";
}

Expected result:
----------------

Have you tried setting the timezone to UTC?
 [2007-03-04 17:43 UTC] manuel dot pinhao at nvisible dot pt 
I get the same output with this code:

putenv("TZ=UTC");

foreach (range(-63158410,-63158390) as $s) {
	echo $s.': '.date("d-m-Y H:i:s (T)",$s)."<br>";
}
 [2007-03-04 18:17 UTC] iliaa@php.net 
Have you tried setting the timezone via the php prescribed function:

date_default_timezone_set() ?
 [2007-03-04 18:36 UTC] manuel dot pinhao at nvisible dot pt 
same output with the following code:

date_default_timezone_set("UTC");

foreach (range(-63158410,-63158390) as $s) {
	echo $s.': '.date("d-m-Y H:i:s (T)",$s)."<br>";
}


Shouldn't this work regardless of the timezone? How can we have a 'disappearing' day?
 [2007-03-05 00:11 UTC] iliaa@php.net 
The DST offset could move you to the next day, you may want to try to 
pick 6-7 am on the 1st of Jan 1968 to see if that works.

This works fine for me (on Linux):

 [2007-03-05 10:20 UTC] manuel dot pinhao at nvisible dot pt 
Yes, this seems to be a windows-only problem. I've tested it on Linux and it works as expected.
Regarding DST, I'm no expert on this matter, but DST could probably 'bump' time one hour forwards or backwards, not lose a whole day. As for testing 6-7 AM, I wasn't able to target any hours in 01-01-1968.
 [2007-03-05 10:35 UTC] derick@php.net 
Portugal didn't do DST between 1966 and 1976, so that is not the issue. I'll have to see what I get on Windows once that POS wants to boot again :)
 [2007-03-28 08:47 UTC] derick@php.net 
I can't reproduce this on windows (2k) either.

My setup is Windows XP SP2. This bug should be reproducible in that OS.
 [2007-04-23 14:43 UTC] tijnema at gmail dot com 
I've tested this code on Win XP SP2 (PHP-5.2.1/Apache 2.2.3):
<?php
date_default_timezone_set("UTC");

foreach (range(-63158410,-63158390) as $s) {
	echo $s.': '.date("d-m-Y H:i:s (T)",$s)."<br>";
}
?>

And it returns this:

I see no problem...
 [2007-04-23 14:47 UTC] derick@php.net 
So still nobody can reproduce it...
